Seaweed to cow feed: Why is Sweden building the world’s largest algae factory?
4 per cent of the world’s methane emissions currently come from cattle, which is two times higher than the whole aviation industry put together.
When fed to cows at a daily dose of just 100 grams, the seaweed feed reduces their enteric methane (gas fermented in the intestines of cows, sheep and goats) emissions by up to 80 per cent.

@npub1ddp…2tax I struggle with this. There are Republicans who do harm to the society, no doubt about it. But there are also those who are nominally Republicans yet still open to persuasion when it comes to common issues.

Democrats beware: These Black voters are fed up, and looking for a political home
Mr. Beatty, who has earned multiple degrees and certificates in the trades, criminal justice and leadership, said the media tries to divide people on the basis of skin color.
“But we have a lot more in common than we have different. All of us want to be safe. All of us want our kids safe. All of us want to live a decent life. That’s all we want.”

@npub1ddp…2tax the go the government wants to allocate funds for projects for Christians, other religions, and atheists. When they put down Jedi as a religion it takes money away from projects for atheists. It all seems odd to me since I’m not an Aussie.

No app, no entry: How the digital world is failing the non tech-savvy
The elderly, the poor and the unbanked are among the marginalised groups being excluded from our cashless society

Remote work is killing productivity, the experts and CEOs say—except it just surged the most in nearly 3 years
A lot of office time is devoted to meetings which are largely time sinks but serve for management to assert authority. Another in-office time sink is gossip and politicking. The second time-waster does not go away with work from home but is reduced.

A Monumental UFO Scandal is Looming
“This leaves two extraordinary possibilities — that elements within and outside of the U.S. government oversee a decades-old UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering effort – a profound, paradigm-shifting development — or multiple esteemed and credentialed current and former government officials are engaging in a brazen disinformation campaign.”
